On April 29, 1996, 37-year-old David Grell spotted a large metal trash can floating in one of the ponds along Industrial Drive owned by Vulcan Materials in the Shirley Industrial Park in Springfield. When Grell looked into the open bin, he saw human remains and called the police. The bodies were eventually determined to be those of 35-year-old Kieu Oanh Thi “Nina” Nguyen and her two-year-old son
